Open Positions

M.Sc. and Ph.D. students needed

for a microbiology lab at the Department of Animal Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture (Rehovot).

Our lab studies the gut microbiota at the population, single species and molecular levels (using methods such as cell culture, qPCR, NGS...) and aim to answer basic and applied science questions such as:

What do bacteria sense in the gut environment? What can it tell us about the gut environment? What are the relationships between gut bacteria? Do they feed one another? Fight one another? Communicate? How are bacteria inherited? Are commensal bacteria inherited through chicken eggs? Can we create a probiotic to reduce infection and mortality in newly hatched chicks?

How to apply: Send your CV and publication list to Dr. Erez Mills – erez.mills@mail.huji.ac.il
